Answer 1

`\red{a = 6}`

Explanation:

`- 23 = - 4a + 1 \\ \text{take \: 1 \: to \: the \: left \: side \\ } \\ - 23 - 1 = - 4a \\ - 24 = - 4a \\ \text{divide \: both \: sides \: by \: - 4 \\ } \\ 6 = a`

Answer 2

6 = a

Explanation:

-23 = -4a+1

To solve for a, subtract 1 from each side

-23-1 = -4a+1-1

-24 = -4a

Divide each side by -4

-24/-4 = -4a/-4

6 = a
